Otherwise browsers would be even more trivially DoS-attacked.

We went over this in 2006 and agreed then that finally cannot be 
guaranteed. This is true even without generators:

function foo() {
   try {
     while (true);
   } finally {
     alert('so sorry');
   }
}
foo()

Browsers must police infinte loops and offer to kill such runaways. The 
finally can't run.

`finally` can't run.
